> DH's pdoc said she would call in a script for Gabapentin to help with break through anxiety. Has anyone used this on top of another SSRI and how did it work for you?

>I've used it in the past and occasionally since then when I start feeling a panicky phase coming on. It works good to quiet down the headnoise and ruminating thoughts, lets me relax and not be so hyperactive-good at reducing physical anxiety aspects. It seems to greatly reduce the "threatening" aspect of visual/audible stimulus. It can definitely make you pretty fuzzyheaded though. Tolerance often builds to it with chronic usage unfortunately (for many). It works best for me to just use it periodically for a week or so at a time.
